A ground wire would probably be brown, not red, so I don't think you want to ground this. I don't know enough about the 6V cars to tell you any more. Taping it off can't possibly hurt anything, although it may leave something not working. OTOH, if you ground it and it turns out to be a hot wire, then you may ruin your wiring harness as well as some things that the harness connects to. You really have to follow thru on what each wire actually does, rather than try to just follow a pattern. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
